THE W E S T E R N VALVE CO. 


Renewable Vulcanized Asbestos Disc Globe Valves, 


Sectional View Showing Asbestos 
Disc in Holder. 


Asbestos Disc and Holder Complete 
and Ready for Use. 


T HESE Valves are so constructed that all of the usual defects known to exist in Globe Valves are 
eliminated. They are provided with Vulcanized Asbestos Discs. The Disc is composed of the fibre 
of Asbestos, to which is added, by patented process, the waterproof vulcanizing- material, making 
a very durable packing which will not crack or flake off. It is held central on its seat by guides cast on 
the body of the valve. It is also secured to the spindle without the use of nuts, screws, pins, wires or any¬ 
thing that is liable to become detached while in use. 

The Vulcanized Asbestos Ring is forced into the brass disc holder, and the metal is spun or turned 
over the edges of the ring, so it cannot drop out. 

The Discs are furnished in brass holders complete ready for use, and can be put into the valves by 
simply removing the bonnet of valve, slipping off from end of spindle the old Disc, substituting a new one 
and replacing the bonnet again, the whole operation requiring only a few moments’ time and no skill. 

These Valves have a raised round seat upon which scale, grit or sediment is less likely to lodge than 
on the broad, flat seats commonly used. The Stuffing Boxes are all packed before they leave the factory 
with Vulcanized Asbestos Rope Packing, which is very durable and cannot be blown or washed out. 

We invite inspection and trial by all interested in this line of goods. All goods are warranted to 

be as represented.

Brass Straightway Swinging Check Valves, 

WITH PATENT ROTATING DISC AND SCREWED ENDS. 



Fig. 57. 

Angle Pattern. 



The many annoyances resulting from 
the use of the ordinary Check Valves is 
avoided by using these, our well-known 
Straightway Swinging Check Valves, 
with Patent Rotating Disc, as they work 
freely, never sticking on the seat. They 
have full area equal to pipe connec¬ 
tions, and straight way, a very desirable 
feature. They are reliable, tight and 
are thoroughly tested and guaranteed. 
They are unequaled for use in connec¬ 
tion with Return Steam Traps, Inspira¬ 
tors, Injectors, Pumps, etc. 

The Valve is easily reground by 
removing Angle Plug (shown in cut); 
insert a screwdriver into slot in disc 
head ; revolve it sufficiently to re-seat it, 
without disconnecting from the pipe. 
No Swinging Disc Valve can be made 
with a Rotating Disc without infringing 
this patent.

By reversing lever this Valve can be used as a Balanced Disc Automatic Relief Valve for Condensing Engines. It opens automatically and 
permits of free exhaust to the atmosphere without clattering of the Disc, and while closed by the pressure of the atmosphere on top of the Disc a 
vacuum may be maintained within the Valve and its connections. 

This Valve is also used in exhaust pipe between the Engine and Condenser to prevent the backward flow of water from the Condenser into the 
Engine. For still further adaptation of this Valve see Fig. 89 (Balanced Disc Combined Stop and Check Valve).

44 THE WESTERN VALVE OO- 

Renewable Vulcanized Asbestos Seat Brass and 

Iron Body Gate Valves, 

WITH SCREWED, FLANGED, BELL AND SPIGOT ENDS. 



Fig. 193. 


We desire to call attention to our Renewable Double Seat Gate Valves, and especial attention to the 
Seats, which are instantly renewable. The Seats are composed of our well-known, specially treated Asbestos 
Fibre. They will not crack, flake or chip off, nor adhere to the Gate (or Wedge). They do not expand or 
contract from heat or cold, but they are sufficiently elastic to compensate for the usual expansion and 
contraction of the Valve Body, and prevent binding or pinching of the Gate (or Wedge) while closed. Being 
of softer material than the Gate (or Wedge), they prevent the injury ordinarily resulting from pipe-chips, grit, 
scale, etc., being intercepted between them and the Wedge. No special tools or skill are necessary to insert 
these Seat Rings. 

The Gate (or Plug) is one casting, wedge shaped and double faced. Ways or grooves on its sides slide 
on guides in the Valve, holding it central and relieving the stem of strain from pressure on either side 
of the Wedge. 

These Valves, being double seated, can be used with the pressure applied at either end. We make them 
with Non-Rising and Rising Spindles ; Non-Rising always furnished, and open by turning to the left, unless 
otherwise ordered.

Gate Valves, 

WITH BOLTED BONNET, RISING SPINDLE AND SCREWED GATE BY-PASS ATTACHMENT. 



Fig. 275. 

Prices furnished on application. 


In order that Gate Valves used under heavy pressures may be opened easily, we recommend the use 
of a By-Pass applied to the body. By this means the full pressure against the plug or wedge is nearly 
counterbalanced. 

This attachment may be built to the side or bottom of the Valve, and may consist of a Valve or 
Cock and Elbows made up with nippled or flanged joints. We show above such By-Pass Relief, built 
with a Gate Valve, nippled. See Fig. 280 on following page for another style. 

In ordering Gate Valves state whether for Steam, Water or Gas, and what pressure they will be 
required to stand.

Having called attention on preceding page to the advantage derived from the use of By-Pass Relief 
on Gate Valves subjected to heavy pressures, we here show another style, which we are sure will commend 
itself—a Cock By-Pass with but two joints, flanged. 

In building this By-Pass our well-known Asbestos Packed Cock is used instead of a valve, and has the 
elbows cast onto its body (as shown in above cut), requiring only two joints to secure it to the Gate 
Valve, a very desirable feature. 

In ordering Gate Valves state whether for Steam, Water or Gas, and what pressure they will be 
required to stand.

In bringing out this new Fire Hydrant, we desire to say that it has been the aim to incorporate into it such new features and 
principles that will be appreciated by the public. We claim for it the only Renewable Gate Fire Hydrant (in all its parts) on the 
market, and desire to call attention to the following points of superiority : 

1. It is of the class known as the Gate Hydrants. So constructed that the gate opens downward, below the bottom of the 
main pipe, thereby giving an unobstructed flow of water through the hydrant, enabling it to deliver more water than any other 
hydrant of the same size valve opening now on the market. All the working parts are renewable and interchangeable. 

2. The construction of this hydrant is such that sticks, stones or gravel cannot clog it; if not forced out at the nozzle they 
must lodge on top of the gate, which fills the space in valve casing so completely that it is impossible for anything to pass 
below and get under it. 

3. The gate is made from the best composition, is easily operated and adjusted, and continuous use does not cause it to leak. 

4. The valve seat rings of this hydrant are made of asbestos, under patents, same as in use in all our gate valves. 
They are firmly held in place by a cage, as shown in cut {/and L), In case of accident or injury, by being cut by stone or gravel, 
they can be taken out and new ones put in their place, by taking the hydrant apart at bottom joint, I. 

5. This hydrant is anti-freezing. This clause is based upon the supposition that the drainage is good. The drip is positive 
in action. Sand and gravel will not clog it, as it drips at a point below the main. 

6. Expansion and contraction can have no effect upon the working parts of this hydrant, as the steel rod which connects 
with sockets A and K fits loosely and is not pinned. Any expansion of post or rod does not affect the valve. 

7. The valve rod, E, can be packed by simply removing the nut, B ; the packing, C, can be easily replaced, and if by 
accident the post should be broken the valve will remain closed, thereby preventing a flow of water, and a new one can be put in 
its place without shutting off the main.

Vulcanized Asbestos Packed Brass and Iron Cocks,

STRAIGHT PLUG PATTERN. 


Fig. 233, 




Sectional View. 


The above sectional cuts describe the construction of our well-known Asbestos Packed Cocks, now so extensively used for 
Boiler Blow-offs and other suitable purposes. The Plug comes in contact only with prepared Asbestos, which is firmly packed in 
four dovetailed slots in the barrel of the Cock. It also has a prepared Asbestos Washer or Ring above and below in close contact 
with the Plug, thereby preventing metal contact and overcoming the objectionable features of metal bearing Cocks. The Plugs in 
the Iron Cocks are Barffed, rendering them rustless. All Cocks are carefully tested at the factory, and so tagged when shipped. 
All parts are interchangeable. If the Cock, when received, works too hard, immerse it in boiling water until warm enough to 
allow Plug to turn. 


TAPER PLUG PATTERN. 


Fig. 234. 

We would call particular attention to our pattern of Asbestos Packed Cock with Taper Plug, in which it is possible to com¬ 
pensate for wear by tightening the Gland Bolts. The Plug is packed about the top by a Ring of Asbestos, preventing it coming 
in contact with the metal gland, the same as in the pattern shown at top of page. No bottom ring is used in this pattern, but 
clearance space is provided for Plug in bottom of barrel. We make this pattern with bodies fitted with two different forms of 
prepared Asbestos, according to the service required. Both styles ‘ U ” Packed and Renewable Bushing, we show on the 
following page. Asbestos Packed Cocks are preferable to Globes or Gates for use below the water line of boiler, and are especially 
efficient for Water Column Blow-offs. Without enumerating all the places where these Cocks are of special value, we ask trials of 
them wherever Valves cannot be kept tight, and wherever Seats and Discs of Valves are liable to be covered or injured by scale. 
We specially commend them for work where frequent opening and closing is required, and where Globe or Gate Valves are 
not satisfactory.

Vulcanized Asbestos Packed Brass and Iron Cocks. 

SECTION OF “U” PACKED BODY, TAPER PLUG PATTERN. 



The above cut shows section of our “U” Packed Cock Body as furnished in Taper Plug Pattern for regular and extra 
pressures. The Asbestos Fibre is firmly packed in the dovetailed “ U ” grooves, and is unaffected by steam, water or acid. 
The surface of the Plug bears directly against this packing without contact with the metal body. We recommend this pattern 
for all kinds of service. 


PARTS OF RENEWABLE BUSHING TAPER PLUG PATTERN. 



For low steam and other light pressures, where the Cock is not subjected to severe service, and where it is desirable to have 
one which can be repaired without removing it from the line of pipe, we offer our Renewable Bushing Cock here shown. 
The Packing consists of a Moulded Prepared Asbestos Lining, as shown in No. 4, which completely surrounds the Plug, and 
is prevented from turning in the body by two ridges on the sides, which fit into corresponding grooves in the body. No. 5 is 
a Ring of the same material for insertion between shoulder of Plug and Gland. No. 2-S shows Taper Plug fitted with Quarter 
Stop, and No. 3-S is Gland showing Quarter Stop Lug. We would here call attention to the Quarter Stop on our Blow-off 
Cocks as a very desirable feature. It prevents the complete rotation of the Plug, although permitting wide opening, thus always 
presenting the same side of Plug toward the boiler, otherwise scale formation on the exposed face of the plug would tend to wear 
the Packing, if allowed to rotate entirely.

CONSTRUCTION AND POSITION OF THE TRAP. 

A is the receiving vessel, inside of which is a water tight cast iron float, suspended on one end of 
a lever, the other end of which is fast to a spindle which goes through a stuffing box to the outside of A y and 
carries on its outer end the lever B , with weight which counterpoises half the weight of float. C is a rocking 
lever with a weight which rolls to either end, alternately, as the feeder fills and is emptied of water, the roll¬ 
ing ball acting at exactly the same point every time to open and close the steam valve D. A is a connecting 
rod between lever of valve D and the rocking lever C. F is the feed pipe to boilers. H is the pipe from the 
boilers direct to the steam valve D. This pipe must be taken direct from the dome of the boiler and not from 
any pipe or pipes from which steam is being used for other purposes. J is the air cock, to allow air to escape 
when first starting up.

THE WESTERN VALVE CO 


Pratt’s Patent Return Steam Trap Is a Complete Safeguard Against 

Loss of Steam in Heating, Drying, Etc. 

The amount to be saved varies with the circumstances of each case ; therefore we cannot guarantee any special percentage, 
but can agree to save whatever is wasted by discharging the condensation. 

We have put our Traps where one-half of the coal used in heating was saved (these were exceptional cases), in many 
33'/i, others 25, and down to 10 per cent. 

In cases where most of the steam is used in heating, the trap can be made to do all the feeding of boiler (if there is sufficient 
pressure of cold water) by introducing into the trap a sufficient amount of cold water to make up the whole amount of water 
wanted for the boiler. 

All the traps will work satisfactorily provided they are setup according to our printed instructions. Steam fitters will 
experience no trouble in connecting, as there are no adjustments to be made. 

These traps have been in use about ten years, during which time a large number of them have been sold and found to give 
perfect satisfaction. 

In heating by direct steam there is a large amount of heat wasted, even when the condensation is run into a tank and pumped 
into boilers, while allowing it to go to waste entirely is a loss that no one who wishes to use steam with the utmost economy 
will allow. 

In using the Return Steam Trap there is no outlet for the steam used in heating, etc., except into the boiler from which it 
came ; therefore there can be no loss of heat except by radiation from the heating surface. 

The trap will return all condensation received by it to the boiler or boilers at a temperature due to the pressure under which 
the steam was condensed. 

With 75 pounds of steam in boilers we have known it to be as high as 300°. 

There is no doubt as to the economy of returning under pressure, the facts being too well known to admit of a doubt. 

DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING TRAP. 


1. In unpacking the Trap, remove the top of the crate first, then 
lift the trap up about 15 inches to withdraw the round wood plug 
from the bottom which holds the float up while packed and prevents 
breaking in shipping. Handle with care. Do not handle trap by 
valve D. 

2. The bottom of trap should be set above water line of boilers 
2 feet or more. 

3. It may stand on a flange which rests on brickwork or shelf 
over boilers. 

4. The trap must be set plumb and firm. 

5. The discharge pipe F to be on 

No. 1 Trap, VA inch. No. 3 Trap, 2 l A inch. 

No. 2 “ 2 “ No. 4 “ 214 “ 

On this should be a Pratt’s Straightway Swinging Check Valve 
and Gate Valve as shown in cut, when connected to only one boiler, 
but when connected to two or more boilers run the pipes full size of 
outlet at bottom of trap out over the boilers to near where you wish 
to connect; then put on T fitting and reduce to size of feed or blow- 
off pipe of boilers. Put Asbestos Seat Gate Valve and P. & C. 
Brass Disc Swinging Check Valve in line to each boiler. Place 
gate and check valves in all cases as near the boiler as possible. 

6. The drip pipes from all heating pipes or machines must have 
same pressure and should be connected to a receiver which is placed 
lower than the lowest pipes (see cut) and notice that each pipe con¬ 
nected to receiver has on a check and gate valve ; also disconnect 
from old pot or blow-off condensation trap, if any in use. 

7. There should be a blow-off pipe in the bottom of the re¬ 
ceiver and an air cock in the top. 

8. On the water inlet pipe G should be a check and gate valve, 
the former near the trap and the latter where it is most convenient to 
reach it. This pipe should be offset as shown in cut and of follow¬ 
ing size: 

No. 1 Trap, 1 inch. 

No. 2 “ VA “ 

and should come from the centre or bushed hole in top of receiver 
(see cut). This pipe G should go down into receiver to within an 
inch of the bottom, as shown in cut. See dotted lines. 

9. The steam pipe H should come direct from the boiler, and 
not from any other pipe from which steam is being drawn. Have a 
Globe Valve on it. If several boilers receive water from the same 
trap, steam must be taken from each and connected to steam pipe 
H. For this trap the size of steam pipe H should be 

No. 1 Trap, H inch. I No. 3 Trap, 1A inch. 

No. 2 “ 1 “ No. 4 “ VA “ 


No. 3 Trap, 1 l A inch. 
No. 4 “ 2 


10. In putting the levers on the trap follow directions in cut 
and thereby avoid mistakes. The ball on lever B should be about 4 
inches from end of lever. 

11. When tightening the set screw on spindle hold up the end 
of lever B as high as possible. 

12. When connections are all made, move lever B up and down 
slowly a few times, to see that the weight on lever C rolls promptly 
each way. If it does not the trap is not set up plumb, and must be 
leveled, so as to get the proper motion of the rolling weight. 

13. After steam is on the trap, tighten up every nut as much as 
possible, and again when it is cold. By doing this a few times it 
will always have a tight joint. This is done to follow up the packing 
until it gets set. Keep the stuffing box tightened up so that it does 
not leak, but not so tight as to prevent it working easily. We are 
now using our Patent Vulcabeston Packing in the stuffing boxes, 
cut in rings, and find it makes a better packing and lasts longer than 
any other. 

14. In starting the trap, open all the valves, including the air 
cock J and vent or air cock in receiver. After circulation is well 
established, close air vent on receiver and half close the air cock J 
on the top of the trap ; do not shut off completely, as the trap will 
not work if it is entirely closed. 

15. If the connections to traps are properly made they will work 
promptly. If they do not discharge it is because the check valve in 
pipe A sticks, or check on inlet pipe G leaks, allowing the steam 
from boiler to run back into drip pipes, etc., or the steam is taken 
from some pipe that is supplying steam for other purposes, and does 
not give the trap the full boiler pressure. 

16. The trap discharges by gravity alone, and the steam that 
is let into the trap only makes an equilibrium of pressure. It is 
impossible to get the proper pressure, except by direct connection 
to boiler, unless under some circumstances where large pipes or 
drums connect boilers from which smaller pipes draw steam. In 
such cases connect to the drums. The higher the trap can set the 
more rapid the discharge. 

17. Be careful about the use of lead about the trap or pipes 
connecting to them. Use it sparingly, and if possible blow all pipes 
out thoroughly before running the water to trap. 

18. Use our Patent Swinging Check Valves on inlet pipe G and 
and discharge pipe F, and no others—they will not stick, others are 
liable to—they are straightway and easily repaired.

Hancock Inspirators. 

The large number of Hancock Inspirators now in use testifies to its abilities as a most economical 
and trustworthy machine, and warrants us in claiming it the best and most reliable boiler feeder known. 
As all the parts are interchangeable, it is most easily repaired, simple in construction, readily understood, 
easily operated, and, as has been proven by many trials and tests, takes less steam in accomplishing results 
than any injector in the market. No adjustment for variation in pressure. Works equally well on a 
high or low lift. Takes water at 140° Fahr. on 3 or 4 foot lift with 45 pounds of steam, or at 110° 
Fahr. on a 25 foot lift with 45 pounds of steam. Over 200,000 of these machines have been sold. 


DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND OPERATING STATIONARY INSPIRATORS. 


Connect as shown “Steam,” “Water,” “Feed.” In making- 
steam connection with the boiler do not connect with other steam 
pipes, but take the steam direct by tapping the boiler. Place a 
globe valve in steam pipe just above the Inspirator for a starting 
valve, and a check valve in the feed pipe between the Inspirator 
and boiler. Blow out steam pipes before connecting. For a high 
lift or a long draft make the suction one size larger than the con¬ 
nections. Be sure that the suction connections are perfectly air 
tight. For a lift of 5 feet about 15 pounds steam pressure is re¬ 
quired ; for 10 feet lift, about 20 pounds steam; for 15 feet, 25 
pounds : for 20 feet, 35 pounds; for 25 feet, 45 pounds. Every 
machine is carefully tested before leaving the factory, and is war¬ 
ranted to work satisfactorily if the directions for connecting are 
strictly followed. 

To start the Inspirator, see that the overflow valves marked 1 
and 3 are open and the forcer valve marked 2 is closed. Give 
steam. After getting the water, close No. 1; open No. 2 one- 


quarter of a turn; close No. 3, and the Inspirator is at work. No 
adjustment is necessary for varying steam pressures, but the quan¬ 
tity and temperature of the water delivered can be varied by 
increasing or reducing the steam or water supply. The conditions 
in different places vary so widely that we cannot give any ab¬ 
solute rule for operating; but a competent engineer will soon 
learn how to regulate his steam and water supply to produce the 
best results in his case. When the Inspirator is under a head of 
water, we advise placing an ordinary globe valve in the suction 
pipe to regulate the supply of water to the Inspirator. If this is 
not done, we recommend the use of a tank, fed by ball cock, the 
Inspirator to draw from tank. In all cases, when the Inspirator is 
not at work, both overflow valves, 1 and 3, should be kept open. 
To test the suction, stop the lower end of pipe, fill it with water, 
close both overflows and let on full head of steam; then examine 
pipe for leaks. 


SUGGESTI ONS. 


The important connections of the Inspirator are “Steam,” 
“Suction "and “Feed.” In addition to these is the “Overflow,” 
and to the user or operator these are the only parts requiring 
attention. 

STEAM. 

For all purposes of power, steam should be as dry as possible, 
and not a mere saturated vapor. This is especially true with all 
jet apparatus. Steam should be taken from the highest part of 
the boiler and not on the sides or end. In the case of portable or 
traction engines, it is important to take the steam from the centre 
of the boiler and at its highest part, as a steam pipe at either end 
is sure to be flooded with water when ascending or descending a 
hill. If there is a large pipe for supplying the engine or for any 
other purpose, place the Inspirator steam pipe at a distance from 
such pipe, as such pipes will sometimes draw water and flood the 
Inspirator steam pipe if too close. It is often desirable to have 
a supplementary dome, say 1 foot high, consisting of a piece of 
1 1-2 or 2 inch pipe, to aid in securing dry steam. 

SUCTION. 

One of the most essential requirements for the successful 
working of the Inspirator is a tight suction—one that will not 
leak air. This is especially important on a high lift, and with the 
smaller sizes of Inspirators, which, being small, are more easily 
affected by a small leak that perhaps would not materially 
affect the action of a large Inspirator. The size of suction should 
be proportionate to its length, always increasing when the lift is 
high or the trail long. Water can be brought from great dis¬ 
tances by the Inspirator when the pipe is of sufficient capacity. 
When an old pipe is to be used for a suction to Inspirator it is 
well to examine it carefully to ascertain if it is not partially filled 
with rust or sediment, which will reduce its capacity and per¬ 
haps prevent the working of the Inspirator. Have as few 
quarter turns as possible in the suction pipe. A good valve, 
if kept well packed, is sometimes a good thing in the suction to 


regulate the supply of water to the Inspirator, and through that 
to the boiler. If it is necessary to connect the Inspirator direct 
to water works pressure, be sure and have a supply pipe large 
enough to secure a uniformity of pressure, and avoid in all cases 
taking water from a pipe full of faucets which may at any time 
take all your water, or so reduce the supply and pressure as to 
make it unreliable. In such cases it is necessary to take the 
water from a tank fed by ball cock; this will secure a uniform 
supply. Place a valve in the suction pipe when the Inspira¬ 
tor is under a head to regulate the supply of water to the 
Inspirator. 

The temperature of the water taken at the suction will affect 
the amount of water fed by the Inspirator, a high temperature re¬ 
ducing the quantity. 

DELIVERY. 

The delivery pipe must be as large as the suction, or as large 
as called for by the Inspirator connections, and if the check valve 
is larger than necessary it will not impair the working of the 
Inspirator. Place a valve in the delivery pipe between the check 
and the boiler, so that you can take out and repair or clean 
the check valve when necessary, without waiting to run down 
steam. The Inspirator will feed through a “ heater ” as well 
as direct to the boiler, but a check valve must be placed be¬ 
tween the Inspirator and heater to prevent back pressure from 
heater. 

OVERFLOW. 

In starting the Inspirator, the overflow valves must be wide 
open to permit a free passage of air and steam. 

If the overflow is piped on any class of Inspirator, have the 
pipe as straight and as nearly perpendicular as possible, and 
larger than the diameter of the overflow, so as not to obstruct the 
passage in any way. Never allow the end of such pipe to go 
below the surface of the water, as this will choke it. Always leave 
overflow valves open when Inspirator is not at work.

STYLE “MONOGRAM.” 



SUCTION 
Fig. 284. 


This style of Inspirator is especially designed for Traction,Hoisting and small Locomotive Engines, where 
the duty is more uniform than is met with in general service. 

It is extremely simple in its construction and operation ; the whole interior can be removed and replaced 
without disconnecting from pipes, and only two motions are required to operate. They will work with from 
20 to 200 pounds steam pressure without adjustment, and will lift water from 3 to 15 feet at these pressures. 

When at work its operation is identical with the Stationary Inspirator, but for extreme high lift or very 
hot water the Stationary pattern is more especially adapted, and is without a rival. 

This style of Inspirator is made in four sizes—Nos. 10, 12*, 15 and 17*. Discounts will be given on 
application. 

These Inspirators are warranted perfect in every respect, and in material and workmanship are equal to 
the highest cost goods produced at our works.

The Hancock Locomotive machines are designed especially for feeding locomotive boilers, and are entirely reliable for use 
on the road as well as when the engine is at rest. They are operated by the use of one handle or lever. 

In Styles A, B, C and D, Locomotive Pattern, it will be noted that by one turn of the Suction Regulating Valve (the Pin 
to the Top) a maximum supply of water is obtained for the Inspirator. For minimum supply turn same to the Right. This 
simple device obviates the necessity of a throttling valve in the suction pipe when Inspirator is not supplied under pressure. 

The sizes required for locomotives with from 14 inch to 17 inch cylinders are of the same outside dimensions and same size 
connections. Their capacities are designated by numbers. We ask a trial. We claim nothing for the “Hancock” that we are 
not fully confident it will accomplish, and we are desirous that the machine should stand solely on its merits. 


DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND OPERATING LOCOMOTIVE INSPIRATORS. 

Place the Inspirator so that the lower end will be above the water in the tank. Be sure that the suction is absolutely tight. 
(For Fig. 163 only place the lazy cock in the same position as for a pump and operate in the same manner. A mark can be 
made on the quadrant at the point where it is closed as much as the Inspirator will bear, which can be determined after a 

few trials.) 

To start the Inspirator, draw the lever back sufficiently to bring the water, say, 3 or 4 inches, then draw it back to the stop. 

The Locomotive Pattern is equally suitable for use on Marine or Stationary Boilers.

SUCTION 

Fig. 263. 

We recommend this instrument for use in raising water, either for filling or emptying tanks, for pumping out “ wheel pits,” 
or for raising and transferring liquids, hot or cold, in tanneries, dye houses, etc.; also for filling railroad tanks and locomotive 
tenders ; to be permanently attached by the side of the road, in the vicinity of water supply, whether well, brook or pond ; or to 
be attached to tender or engine, as may be most convenient, taking steam from the locomotive boiler to operate the Ejector in 
either case. This machine is economical in the use of steam, is compact in form, convenient to handle, cannot get out of order, 
and is a very effective apparatus. All sizes lift water 25 feet, and raise it above the instrument from 10 to 40 feet, according to 
steam pressure. 

When ordering please state duty to be performed and the average pressure of steam.

DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND OPERATING. 

Connect, as shown on cut, “ Steam,” “ Suction ” and “ Delivery,” placing a globe valve in steam pipe above the Ejector. It 
is important to have a tight suction. Blow out your steam pipe before connecting the Ejector, so as to clear it of red lead, 
iron chips, etc. 

To operate : Turn on steam ; and after getting the flow of water established, turn off steam valve to as low a point as it will 
bear, without breaking the stream. 

Larger sizes, and Ejectors for handling hot liquids, furnished to order.

The above capacity can be cut down one-half by throttling water supply. 

WORKING RANGE. 

Starts 22 to 25 pounds ; works high to 140 pounds on 4 foot lift. Greatest vertical lift, 18 feet ; pressure, 65 to 80 pounds. 
Handles hot water supply 106° at 100 pounds, to 115° and 120° at 65 pounds ; pressure, 3 foot lift, according to size of Injector. 

DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND OPERATING. 

If you are taking a water supply from head or under city pressure, before connecting read item on following page. For 10 
to 18 foot lift use size larger suction pipe and valve than Injector coupling. Reduce near the Injector. Every valve, as shown, 
except G, must be used. Valve H put near Injector. Use globe valves for Wand D, not straightways. Place valve H so that it 
shuts against the supply—that is, so the water comes up under the seat. Many people put these on just the reverse. Never use 
a valve with a babbitt metal seat on steam connection. Use a pipe for overflow waste L , double the size of Injector couplings for 
at least 2 feet from Injector before reducing. Bring up close to mouth of overflow and you will have no trouble, and engineer can 
see whether Injector is working or not. Piping overflows have caused many an accident. Where steam piping is all up, should 
it be one size smaller than Injector coupling, it can be used under most conditions. This hint may save a bill of expense to user.

Chief Automatic Injector. 

DIRECTIONS FOR CONNECTING AND OPERAT¬ 
ING CHIEF INJECTOR. 

Blow-Off. —Be sure and blow out steam pipe thoroughly before 
connecting Injector, so as to remove any dirt, rust or scale that may 
have accumulated in pipes. This is important. 

Steam. —Take steam from highest point of boiler possible, and 
never connect with any steam pipe used for other purposes. 

Suction Pipe. —If more than 10 feet of suction pipe are used on a 
lift, it should be a size larger than Injector fittings. Any of the pipes 
used can be larger, but in no event smaller. If water is forced 
through a heater there must be a check valve between heater and 
Injector to prevent back pressure. All connections must be tight, 
especially in suction pipe. 

Tail Pipe or Nipples. —These are made with ground ball joints ; 
we make them short purposely, so that wrenches and tongs may not 
be used, and thereby destroy them. The hole in the end of nipple 
H is made square for the insertion of a chisel or iron on which to use 
wrench. 

Pet Cock. —A pet cock or tee with globe valve, placed any¬ 
where between the check valve F and the Injector, will help very 
materially in starting on low steam pressure ; leave open until 
Injector is started, then close. 

To Clean. —To clean Injector, unscrew coupling nut / and 
remove the jet L. Turn on steam (not less than 40 pounds) and all 
dirt will be blown out. Examine all passages and see that no dirt or 
scale has lodged in them. Replace jet and screw up coupling nut 
tightly. Be careful not to bruise any jets, and use no wrenches on 
body of Injector. 

Fig. 269. To Test for Leaks. — Plug up end of water supply pipe, then 

fit a piece of wood into cap N, so that when screwed down it will 
will hold the valve M in place, then turn on steam and it will locate leak. Do not fail to do this in case of any trouble. 

To Start.— First open full the valve in water supply, and then globe valve in steam pipe. If water issues from overflow, 
throttle the valve //until discharge stops. 

To Stop. —Close the steam valve. The water valve need not be closed unless the Injector is used as a non-lifter, or lift is 
considerable. 

Water Supply from Pressure. —If you are taking a supply direct from water works pressure we mention the following, which 
is most important: Place one globe valve (not straightway) in suction pipe as close to the Injector as possible, and another 6 to 8 
feet away, if possible, forming what may be termed “ a well ” between the two valves. Throttle the “ far away ” valve, which will 
regulate any water pressure to, say, 15 pounds, when the valve near the Injector can then be operated, as though you were working 
on a 2 foot lift. On any water pressure under 25 pounds one valve near Injector will do, but we advise above arrangements under 
any and all pressures. Always place valves so as to close against the water supply pressure.

TO TAKE OUT JET K. 

By referring to sectional view of Injector on previous page you will notice two holes on the under side of this jet into which 
the lugs on Tool No. 1 must fit. Place the tool (not the Injector) in a vise and set the Injector over the tool, fitting lugs into the 
holes on under side of jet, then bear down hard on Injector and at the same time turn from left to right and the jet will unscrew.

Vulcabeston. 


• r ¥ ''-HIS material, as its name would indicate, is composed of the mineral “asbestos” and a small propor¬ 
tion of vulcanizing materials. By varying the proportion of the ingredients we obtain a substance 
capable of being rendered extremely hard, very soft, or very pliable, which permits of its being 
put to an endless variety of uses. The most important property of Vulcabeston, and that which makes it 
particularly valuable, is its permanent resistance to the action of dry heat. By rendering it acid and water 
proof we make it still more valuable, and as such do not hesitate to claim it as the best and most durable 
packing for all kinds of joints on the market to-day. It has another property which commends it, and that 
is as a non-conductor of electricity. When made for this purpose it has the advantage over similar substances 
of holding its shape, as moisture or heat has little or no effect on it, neither expanding nor contracting it. It 
can be rolled into sheets and pressed into moulds of any desired shape. There are two qualities of the sheet 
packing, namely, Steam and Electrical, of which we carry a large stock. The Rope Packing, for convenience 
in handling, is put on spools, and can be had in all sizes. 

The variety of uses to which Viilcabeston can be applied is endless : we name some of the forms now 
made and extensively used :

This is a flexible Rope Packing composed of strong, twisted strands of pure Asbestos, combined with india rubber, vulcanized, 
and coated with plumbago. It is a great improvement on the raw material, and as such is far superior to it and all other packings 
for valve stems, pump valves, etc., where high pressure steam, hot water, oils, acids, ammonia, etc., are used, as also for locomo¬ 
tive, stationary and marine engine throttle valves. The advantages possessed by this Packing are that, in consequence of its 
wonderful strength and durability, it can be used wherever metallic packings have heretofore been necessary. It is self lubri¬ 
cating and will not shrink, pulp or blow out.

Fairbanks’ Bearing Metals. 

These Alloys are designed to meet the wants of all requiring high grade bearing metals. Great care is 
used in their preparation, and the standard of quality will be at all times maintained. They are sold under 
registered trade marks, as shown, and purchasers are warned to beware of inferior imitations. 


PHOSPHOR BEARING METAL. 



Designed for use wherever rigidity of form, great durability and maximum lubricating qualities are 
required in combination. This metal, which has for its base a fine quality of phosphor bronze, has a tensile 
strength of about 30,000 pounds to the square inch, is extremely rigid, works well in the lathe, and can be 
tooled and fitted with all the precision of a first-class gun metal. It is made expressly for hard usage and is a 
true bearing metal, in that it requires no Babbitt or other soft metal lining. A long series of experiments 
with the metal in rolling mills and fast express engines show that it runs perfectly cold, and so far as can be 
determined it is the best bearing metal known for all places where a strain comes directly on the bearing, and 
for all bearings which are to be used without lining. 


FAIRBANKS’ BABBITT METAL. 



A genuine Babbitt metal, made from the original Babbitt fornmla, with great care to preserve the purity 
of its constituents. It contains no lead, spelter, scrap or other impurities, and can be relied upon to give the 
best results, not only for general work, but for the lining of all heavy bearings, where severe usage may be 
expected. It has been found particularly desirable for heavy rolling mill bearings, and though greater in first 
cost than other lining metals, its strength, high lubricating qualities, fluidity, and freedom from dross after 
repeated melting cause the best engineers to pronounce it the most economical in i:se. It is cast in 5 pound 
ingots, and substantially packed in 50 and 100 pound boxes. 





























THE WESTERN VALVE OO. 


123 



Fairbanks’ Anti-Friction Metal. 



After repeated tests, and the guarantee which continued use in the most difficult situations alone can 
give, we do not hesitate in pronouncing this metal, for journal bearings of every description, the best that can 
be furnished for less cost than the genuine Babbitt. It not only melts as easily as the latter, but is readily 
cast and can be repeatedly used. 

In all the qualities which go to make up the best bearing metal it is superior to any of the patent anti¬ 
friction metals which have been extensively advertised and sold at high prices. It is cast in convenient

Fairbanks’ Standard Alloys. 


These Alloys are designed for the use of those persons who desire metals of the highest excellence, 
according to both scientific investigation and practical test, and which can be depended upon to maintain 
their standard of quality at all times. 

They are prepared with great care by experienced workmen, and none but the best materials are used 
in their manufacture. 

ALUMINUM BRONZE. 

An alloy of aluminum and copper. As the amount of aluminum introduced is varied, the color is 
changed from that of a light yellow gold to that of copper itself ; the tensile strength, elastic limit and 
mechanical qualities are varied at the same time from that of a high grade steel to pure copper. It can be 
rolled, worked into sheets and drawn into wire with either hot or cold treatment. 

The metal is especially adapted to resist corrosion under the influence of commercial acids, sea water, 
steam, damp air, sulphurous action in mines, acids present in oils, beers and most chemical manufactures. 

Castings made from the higher grades of Aluminum Bronze finish readily in 
the lathe, have the color of gold and tensile strength up to 80,000 pounds per 
square inch, with 10 to 15 per cent, elongation. They are about four times as 
strong as common brass, about three times as strong as phosphor bronze, and 
nearly twice as strong as good cast steel. The scrap is as good as the original 
ingot. This metal does not crystallize under shocks or blows, as do brasses and 
bronzes containing zinc. It does not deteriorate with age, and retains its high 
mechanical value at any temperature obtained by steam. This is not true of 
zinc or tin alloys with copper. This fact renders Aluminum Bronze available 
for boilers, digesters, distilling apparatus and paper mill machinery, where zinc or tin and copper alloys 
have shown disintegration under continued use. 

Castings of Aluminum Bronze approximate steel forgings in strength, and the metal takes the finest 
impression in mould. For ornamental purposes, where rich and gold colors are desired, it is undistinguishable 
from gold, except by chemical tests. Both wire and sheet resist the action of the atmosphere and maintain 
their ornamental appearance. It is admirably adapted to sheathing for boats, roofs or machinery covering, 
and can be spun and otherwise worked with the utmost facility. Its weight is about that of steel. It is the 
best known metal for inexpensive jewelry. 

Orders are solicited for pattern castings and for sheet, wire and rods of commercial sizes, or for rolling 
mill ingots of specified form and weight.

These bronzes are practically free from iron and silicon, and the capacity for bending is largely due to 
their purity. The three points of excellence reached by the use of Aluminum Bronze are : First, the high 
mechanical values in strength and ductility ; second, the permanence of these values over wide ranges of 
temperature and under repeated shock ; and third, the resistance to acid action, which would cause a rapid 
deterioration of steel, or of the copper-tin, or copper-zinc series of alloys. The specific gravity of Aluminum 
Bronze is not far from that of steel, and all approximate engineering calculations can be made using the 
steel weights. It has an advantage over steel for casting, because it casts closely to the shape of the 
finished work, thus avoiding much of the costly tooling required for steel. The Aluminum Bronze as 
scrap has a high market value after the work has outlived its usefulness.

ALUMINUM SILVER. 

A new alloy of copper, nickel, aluminum and some other constituents, designed as a casting metal of 
the utmost attainable strength, taken in connection with casting equalities and freedom from the large 
shrinkages which make aluminum alloy casting difficult. 

Its tensile strength is about 70,000 pounds per square inch in ordinary green sand castings, and it has 
from 1 to 2 per cent, elongation. It is not adapted for sheet, rod or wire drawing. It has the color of 
fine nickel plate 



It is recommended for all purposes where castings are desired which are required to have the strength 
of fine quality steel, and which are ordinarily made of fine forged steel and afterward nickel plated. This 
metal will not rust or corrode ; it takes a high finish and polish, avoiding the necessity of nickel plating. 
The metal is not only very strong, but highly ornamental. It is especially adapted for parts of small 
machines. 

It can confidently be recommended, even at its higher price, for all things ordinarily steel forged. 
Many forms of metal work which could not be forged in steel can be readily cast in this metal, with the 
strength of steel. 

Orders are solicited for castings and for ingots. 


BRONZE BEARINGS. 

USE. 

Bearings of the class known as Bronze or Red Brass are distinguished from the White Metal or Babbitt bearings by the fact 
that they are used alone, no other metal being required to hold them in place. They are necessary in cases where a strong alloy 
is required, as well as one of low coefficient of friction. Examples of this kind are the boxes of the driving axles of a locomotive, 
which are necessarily subjected to a very great pressure and a speed usually very high ; consequently the alloy required in such 
a position must be capable of resisting distortion and heating under the enormous load, yet not be so hard as to cut the axle. 
The custom of lining bronze with white metal when used in severe places is rapidly becoming obsolete, as mechanics have 
found it unnecessary with the excellent bronze now on the market. With the poor bronzes, however, it is imperative, as the 
box will not give any results without it. 

PROPERTIES. 

Fairbanks’ Bearing Metal is not a true alloy, but a homogeneous mixture of two different alloys, consisting of a base 
sufficiently hard and strong to resist abrasion and distortion, yet softer than the shaft or axle, combined with an alloy of the 
lowest known coefficient of friction. It therefore possesses the good qualities of the ordinary bronze and white metals in 
one alloy. To this particular fact it owes its excellence. These alloys one can readily see by examining the fracture of a 
sand casting with a lens. One alloy is held perfectly in suspension in the other, so that no liquation occurs in the casting. In 
single bronzes it is impossible to get both qualities at the same time ; one can only be obtained at the expense of the other. 

METHOD OF CASTING. 

Fairbanks’ Bearing Metal must be cast in sand from patterns and melted in a crucible like ordinary brass. It cannot 
be melted in an iron ladle, as its melting point is too high. A covering of charcoal should be used while the metal is melting, 
and it should be poured at a good red heat to insure proper filling of the mould. Green sand can be used, but dry sand will 
give better results. In either case a good coating of “ silver lead” should be applied to the mould to prevent the metal from 
burning in the sand. There are no oxidation products formed whatever, and after the alloy is once skimmed it will remain 
perfectly free from dross or oxide. This fact is very important, as it allows any convenient side of the pattern to be cast up, 
and no provision has to be made for the dross, as in the ordinary bronzes. In addition the melted metal will run like water, 












126 THE WESTERN VALVE GO. 


which is a marked feature of the alloy. If plenty of “ silver lead” is used the casting will come out of the sand with a very 
smooth surface. Plenty of time should be given the casting to cool, and under no consideration should it be taken from the 
sand red hot. 

SHRINKAGE. 

The shrinkage is small, about the same as brass—three-sixteenths of an inch to the foot. 

WORKING. 

The box when cast of this bronze should of course be turned down to fit the shaft or axle. No trouble will be experienced 
if a round nosed tool is used ; no cutting of the axle by the alloy will be found, and when used for a short time will show a 
perfectly smooth surface, which is necessary in a true bearing metal. 


ANTI-FRICTION METALS. 

USES. 

The value of Babbitt or Anti-Friction Metals is due to three distinct properties : 

First—Extremely low coefficient of friction. 

Second—Ability to conform to the shape of the shaft or axle running in the metal. 

Third—Low melting point. 

They are, therefore, used for reducing friction in every class of machinery, from the heaviest rolling mill bearings to 
those running at the very highest speed. These metals, except in rare cases, cannot be used alone for bearings on account of 
their inability to resist the pressure to which they are necessarily subjected, but are cast in recesses left for the purpose in 
iron, bronze or brass boxes, the rims of which prevent the soft metal from being forced out by the shaft. 

SELECTION OF A SUITABLE ALLOY. 

In selecting an alloy care should be taken to choose one suitable for the work intended. An alloy of poor quality should 
never be used under a shaft running at high speed and under great pressure, on account of its low pressure capacity ; yet it 
can undoubtedly be used to good satisfaction in many cases of light pressure and moderate speed. A good alloy can, of 
course, be used under either condition. 

PREPARING THE BOX. 

The box is first thoroughly cleaned of dirt and grease, which is best done with alcohol, and powdered with sal-ammoniac. 
It is then heated until the sal-ammoniac is partially vaporized, and coated completely on the inside with solder or tin. If the 
box is of cast iron, pure tin should be used ; if of bronze or brass, ordinary solder may be substituted. A flux made by 
dissolving zinc in muriatic acid (as long as there is any action) can be used with the tin or solder. 

LINING THE BOX. 

The methods followed for lining the bearing differ somewhat under varying conditions. Where the best results are desired 
the method is as follows : A shaft or mandrel somewhat smaller than the one to be used in the box is selected ; it is then placed 
horizontally inside the lower half of the box in such a manner that it will be equidistant from all sides. The shaft and box 
should, of course, be level, and will allow the best results when heated to prevent the metal from chilling. The ends of the 
box can be stopped with clay, pieces of iron or any suitable material, to prevent the melted metal from running out. The 
shaft must be coated with clay wash to prevent the metal from adhering to it. The metal is then melted over a slow fire in 
an iron ladle and heated sufficiently hot to insure the proper filling of the mould. This point is a matter of judgment with 
the operator, and cannot be accurately stated. If the space to be filled is large and the metal is not required to run in very 
thin places, a moderate heating of the alloy is sufficient. On the other hand, if the lining is quite thin the metal should be 
nearly red hot. In no case, however, will it be necessary to heat above redness. The metal should have been skimmed from 
any dross which may have been formed during the melting. If the alloy is of good quality no flux need be used. If the 
alloy is not sufficiently hot, the shell when cast will show cold shuts, and often if allowed to spatter in pouring numerous small 
bubbles of air will become entangled with it and remain in the lining. After the lower shell has been finished, the upper one 
can be done in the same manner. An iron rod or wire can be used to make the oil hole. 

FINAL TREATMENT. 

After the box has been lined, it is then hammered all over in order to make the alloy more dense. The metal is kept in 
place during the operation by the rims of the box and by its adhesion to the solder or tin. The box is then bored out to 
conform to the size of the shaft. 

MODIFICATIONS. 

The above method gives an extremely serviceable bearing, and one that will give entire satisfaction if a suitable alloy is 
used. The other methods in use are only modifications of this in order to lessen the labor required in lining. The first change 
usually made is to use for the form a shaft of the size to run in the bearing ; this saves the labor of boring out. Another 
modification is to dispense with tinning or soldering the box, relying on the rim to hold the alloy in place. Still another is to 
leave off the rims of the box and drill a few holes in it ; these answer the purpose of the rim, but only in an imperfect manner. 
In freight car bearings, a number of small projections about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and three-quarters of an 
inch long are cast in the box, and are then bent a little to hold the alloy in place. If a number of hangers or similar bearings 
are to be lined, the shaft itself can be used as a form, and the whole number of boxes leveled with the shaft; the metal is 
then poured in without disturbing any of them, thereby insuring perfect alignment of work.
